25 things about me
I've been tagged for 25 things...a lot...(on Facebook) so I thought I might as well post it here too. So here it goes:
~25 things about me~
1. I married my first love
2. I am the oldest of 4 kids - 3 girls, 1 boy. My poor brother.
3. My mom raised me to think that I can do anything, be anyone, and succeed at everything it I try my hardest. I hope to pass that on to Elli.
4. Though I know I can do anything, etc, I can sitll be self-conscious and timid about myself, embarass easily, etc. It depends on my mood I geuss, because some days I don't give a hoot what you think of me :)
5. I enjoy getting dirty. Playing in the mud, being covered in clay, sweating, being messy while I'm artsy, swimming in a river. It washes off, so what's the big deal?
6. I hate washing dishes and let them pile up for days so that I only have to do them once...or hoping Mike will wash them or have enough pity on me to build a new kitchen and get me a dishwasher. That's not too much to ask is it?!
7. I have a dog, and because of her I vaccum regularly. Okay, I hate housework.
8. One my pet peeves is people who are late. Yes, my time is just as important as yours, and yes, I do have better things to do besides set and wait on you to show up. If I tell you I will be there at 5pm, count on it. Not 5:05, not 5:10, ... (copied from my friend Lori - I can't say it any better than this!)
9. I love color. Really!? Purple hair, every room is a different color, my wardrobe. So maybe you already knew this.
10. It takes me FOREVER to get pictures from my camera to my computer to anywhere that anyone can see it.
11. I eat way too much. If I am bored, I eat. If I am thirsty, I eat. If I need to get out of the stinkin' house but can't because Elli's sleeping or it's friggin' icy outside, I eat. I really should use my treadmill.
12. I got a treadmill 2 weeks ago. I've used it 3 times. I'm lazy. No - I'm busy doing other things that I can't do while Elli's awake. I am not dedicated to it.
13. I want to love my treadmill.
14. I love to be artistic and want to make money selling my art and my crafts. Any takers?!
15. I have more pajamas than any other article of clothing in my closet.
16. I have to have the lights in my house so that if people are outside, they have a hard time seeing in. Okay, when I was little I used to swear that someone was looking in my bedroom window, and it scarred me. So now, I can't have open windows at night, lights on unless the curtains are closed when it's dark outside, anything like that.
17. I visualize the perfect escape to everything in the moment, just incase it would happen. For example - if I'm driving over a bridge I go through steps of what to do incase the bridge collapses while I'm on it, so that I will survive. Or how I how beat the crap out of anyone who would jump out at me from behind a corner or try to steal something from me. Seriously you all, don't mess with me. I'm prepared.
18. I can do the worm, and can do it well.
19. I hope to plant a garden this spring and summer and harvest my own veggies and things.
20. I hate WalMart....almost as much as I hate craft shows. 'nough said.
21. I used to have long hair, but now that it's short and stylish, it is hard to grow it out. I've tried and cut it off again. But, if I just pulled it up and out of my face anyway while it was long, what was the point of having long hair?
22. I enjoy singing, but am not necessarily great at it. I had fun singing Sunday morning at church with the worship team, and hope that I wasn't so bad that I can't do it again.
23. I am not a kid person. I never babysat, watched my brother and sisters well, or planned on having a family. I am still not comfortable with kids. I like middle school age and older. They're goofy and make me laugh. I will babysit any of my friends kids because I know them and have grown to be comfortable with them and I love my own and am thrilled by her everyday.
24. I'll have more kids someday, but I'm scared to go for it now because of my back and neck from my car accident. I threw up everyday for 9 months with Elli....I can't do that with whiplash neck and TMJ face!
25. I am really happy this is my last factoid. I am cheap and have a hard time buying anything becasue I think to myself all the time that I can make it, and make it better - for example - Vera Bradley bags. But if I am depressed, I will on ocassion buy clothes or some really cool shoes at full price.

I've been busy!
I've been so busy lately! I haven't been very good at keeping up with this blog - sorry. I've been working in my church office 3 days a week, among everything else that's been going on. I enjoy helping out there. It's a lot of fun. The only thing that gets old is telling people we can't help them out right now with things. People want a direct line of help from us and other churches in the community, but it doesn't work that way. We have to go through clearing houses for Christmas, Community Resources for utility help, and other things like that. I get hung up on a lot. It's sad. I almost cried the other day when I helped someone out to their car with all of the food pantry goodies and she had a little girl asleep in the back seat. It makes me so thankful, but also like I'm not praying hard enough for the kids in poverty like that. They don't choose to be in that situation. It's sad!
My in-laws are coming this week! I am so excited! But, I've been working around the house trying to get it clean. (I know you are reading this, Becky, but are you really suprised? Haha!) I still need to clean out their room that they stay in because I have turned it into my personal storage closet for leftover baby items, Christmas and birthday presents, etc, etc, to get stuff out of the way in my studio. No one ever stays at my house, so it's precious space that could be used - so I did and I have A LOT to move. Still not sure what to do with it all. Yesterday I organized back in my back basement. It feels good to have moved things around. It still need a lot of help, but at least we can move around down there now. Today, more cleaning.
I've re-arranged my basement making room for the flood of birthday and Christmas toys that will be showering down onto my poor tiny house over the next month. Half of the room is play land, the other half living room.
I got Elli a purple Christmas tree for her room yesterday. It's pretty cute. She's already pulled the bells off 5 times. The bells were a GREAT idea....seriously. I know when she's into her tree. The big tree should be fun this year.
I still need to put my etsy shop together, but I can't think of a good name. Maybe later this week when things settle a little, then I'll get it done. I'll let you know!
Should get ready for church now. Have a great day! We're having a heat wave! It's supposed to be 44 degrees!!

Nonsense
I have not been inspired lately. I am so depressed and tired all of the time that nothing thrills me and so I don't post. I spend 75% of my time in a doctors office of some sort from my stupid accident. At least next week I get to take the week off from therapy because the guys on vacation. I won't know what to do with myself. I mean, for the last 3 months I've been going to his office 3 times a week - among other visits to the chiropractor, tmj guy, and others. It's rediculous! I don't know what I'll do with a week off - I'm pretty excited :)
And I'm fat. So that's depressing. I need to watch what I eat, or just stop munching all of the time, or just stop eating. I don't know how to do that. I don't know how to not eat stuff. I don't like getting older and needing to be careful about stuff like that. I've never really had to do it before - and not knowing is catching up BIG time (literally - have you seen my mid-line lately?)
Elli is in this phase where she is whiney. Very whiney. Everything is demand and if that doesn't work, she fake cries or fake whines. It's so annoying! I don't know what to do about that except pray that it passes soon. Seriously, it makes me crazy. And to top it off, she loves sitting on her time-out seat. What am I supposed to do about that?!!
I'm tired.
I need to start my etsy shop. I am not that busy tomorrow...maybe I'll do it then. I'll let you know. Maybe there will be a give-away or something to launch it...ya know, for all of you 5 readers that I have. :) I've got lots of leftovers from the craft show I did - which suprisingly enough wasn't as bad as I expected it to be. Generally I hate craft shows. But that's for another day.
On a positive note - it snowed today!!!! LOVE IT! I got some cute shots of Elli. And Mike (with a little of my help) has created an amazing Christmas card to send out this year - seriously, I am really excited about it!
